Nearly twenty years ago I left London for Canada, and in 1923 came to the United States. I found myself a stranger in a strange land, at the end of my resources. One day I walked up and down my room, beseeching God to show me the way; telling Him I had been through many years of semi-invalidism, which I supposed He sent; that it was not because I had wasted my "substance with riotous living" that I had been brought to this pass. I had worked myself into a frenzied state, when, with great clearness the words came to thought, "In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength," and there came a great calm.

The next day I had proof of the prophecy of Isaiah, "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." I am a fully trained nurse, and a Christian Science practitioner called for my services for a woman suffering with acute neuritis. The patient was entirely healed in four days. I remained with her for two weeks for companionship, for she was alone in the house. During that time I read much to her, and in every available minute I read to myself from Science and Health and other writings by Mary Baker Eddy, our revered Leader.

On returning home I found with joy that the aperient medicines which had seemed necessary to my existence had not been touched for fully ten days. I had been healed of lifelong constipation of a very sever form.
